Some of the ethical issues faced by<strong>on</strong>line journalists also have legal implicati<strong>on</strong>s. Moreover, the c<strong>on</strong>stantly evolving, open, networked, global nature of the internetcreates new permutati<strong>on</strong>s of old ethical issues. The “success” of <strong>on</strong>line journalism is often measured by the extent to which it utilizestechnological assets like interactivity, multimedia <strong>and</strong> hypertext.
